For this card I had an instant picture in my head: I wanted a cute creature in front of a wood or something like it and a huge sentiment underneath. So I looked through my stamps and thought the Purple Onion Design stamps were absolutely perfect for what I had in mind. I started with the squirrel, masked it and stamped the bushes next. I masked them as well and added some colour below the images (Cracked Pistachio) and above them (Peacock Feathers).

I coloured the rest in using Copics an added the pink embossed sentiment once the Distress Inks had dried. The bright pink looks really awesome on the Cracked Pistachio :o) The card base also got a bit of the Cracked Pistachio on it, before I added the coloured panel to it: first I simply sponged it on and then added a second layer of ink through a stencil. For a finishing touch and a bit more of a bright and differnt colour I added the pink butterflies and hope that this card will make someone smile in the future. Did the inspiration picture the trick and inspired you as well? I would love to see your creation in the PINspirational gallery ;o) Our kind sponsor this time is XXX and you could be the lucky winner of YYY. Have a wonderful week, yours Maike
